DISPLAY STAND Filed Feb. 13, 1931 INVENTOR ATTORNEYS Patented Sept. 20,1932 NE'IED STATES FERNAND ToURToIs, or NEW YoRx, N. Y., AssreNoiryTo, co'rY, :1510,03` NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION 0F DELAWARE DISPLAY STANDApplication led February 13, 1931. Serial No. 515,448.

This invention relates to improvements in display stands and moreparticularly to display stands for bottles.

In this particular embodiment, I have shown a display stand designed forbottles cylindrical in shape, but it is understood that the shape of thebottles and the shape of the stand may be varied without departing fromthe spirit of my invention.

Further .objects of the invention will be apparent from thespecification and drawing in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of myimproved display stand showing a number of bottles held therein with oneorifice unoccupied.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of my improved stand.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view along the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

10 designates the upper half of the stand mounted .on and revoluble onthe lower half 11. 12 is the cylindrical portion of the stand in thecenter thereof. 13 indicates the cylindrical bottle support. 14indicates the other openings grouped around the central opening 13.

15 indicates the'line of division between the upper and lower half ofthe stand'. 16 is the upraised portion of the lower half of the standwhich is joined to the hub 17 by the screw 18.

The upper portion of the stand 10 is mounted and revoluble on the lowerhalf of the stand 11, the two halves being joined by the screws 18 uponwhich the uppery half of the stand is pivotally mounted, but it shouldbe noted that the base of the hub 17 does not rest upon the innercylindrical base 16, but

is held out of contact with the same by thev screw 18 thereforepermitting a free movement of the upper portionof the'stand 10 upon andaround the lower' half 11. The underside of the member 10 contacts withthe upper side of the member 11 as will clearly be seen from Fig. 3.

The preferred embodiment of this display bottle holder and stand is madeout of bakelite or a similarfma I terial which has the advantage ofoffering adjacent surfaces which can be revolved upon each other withpractically no friction. It should be noted, however, that I do notrestrict myself to this material'.

Having `fully described .my invention, what I claim is:

1. In a display stand for bottles, in combination, a bottle holderhaving a series of concavities therein and integral therewith forholding the bottles, the central portion of said holder being upraised,Va spindle located on the underside of said upraised portion by whichsaid bottle holder is revoluble, and Va base forv said holder having anupraised portion in the center thereof fitting the upraised portion ofthe holder, and a screw passing through said base into the spindle onthe joining the bottle holder and base.

2. In a display stand for bottles, a bottle i tion having a perforationtherein, and a screw connecting said base and bottle holder, the

end of said screw being attached to the spindle on saidbottle holder.

3. In a display stand for bottles, a bottle holder having a series ofconcavities therein for holding Va seriesl of bottles, said bottleholder having sloping sides and a central upraised portion, a spindle onsaid bottle holder on the underside of said central upraised portion, abase for said bottle holder having` sloping sides in alignment with thesides. of the bottle holder, a perforation in the center of said base,and a screw connecting the said base and said bottle holder, andattached to the spindle on said bottle holder.

4. In a display stand for bottles, a bottle holder having a series ofconcavities therein for holding a series of bottles, said bottle holderhaving sloping sides yand a central up-V raised portion, a spindle onsaid bottle holder on the underside of said central upraised portion, abase for said bottleholder having sloping sides in alignment With thesides ofv the bottle holder, and a central upraised portion on said basehaving a perforation therein, anda screw connecting `said bottle holderand said base; i i

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
